The Maine Coastal Current (MCC) flows south-westward along the New England coast in the Gulf of Maine. Red tides, river-borne pollutants, and biological species are hypothesized to be transported by the MCC. The transport pathways, and their...

The thermophilic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium thermocellum has attracted researchers attention because of its potential industrial application and high cellulose hydrolysis rates. This study focuses on the physiological fundamentals of C....

Production of fuel ethanol from cellulosic materials is a potentially attractive way to meet sustainability, energy security, and environmental goals. However, the high cost of processing using current technology has thus far prevented...

Metabolic engineering of the catabolic end-product metabolism of Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum was initiated. T. saccharolyticum is an anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium that utilizes xylans and xylose, the second most prominent sugar after...

The present studies examine the flexible application of two stimulus-response (SR) mappings to a single set of stimuli. The following questions are addressed: (1) Can dual mapping performance equal single mapping performance (2) Can rapid map...
